It’s\u00a0Asian\/Pacific Islander American Heritage month,\u00a0which means that it’s once again time to celebrate on the Lantern Review <\/em>Blog. This May, we’ll be picking up with two special series that we’ve run in previous years, in addition to posting our regular fare of interviews, columns, and reviews. Here’s a glance at what you can expect to see:<\/p>\n

Process Profiles Series<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as we’ve done in past Mays, we’ve asked several of our contributors to write short guest posts for us in which they reflect upon their processes for writing a poem of theirs that we’ve published. \u00a0This has always been one of our favorite series to run, and we hope that you’ll enjoy this year’s installments equally as much as those from years past. \u00a0A new Process Profile will be posted each week (usually on a Wednesday), every week, for the duration of May.<\/p>\n

Curated Prompts<\/strong><\/p>\n

We had a lot of fun getting to work with our guest prompt-writers last May, so we’re thrilled to be able to continue our Curated Prompts series\u2014in which we post writing exercises contributed by respected writers and teachers of Asian American poetry in lieu of our regular Friday Prompts\u2014during this year’s APIA Heritage Month. \u00a0This year’s lineup begins with Karen An-hwei Lee, whose exuberant, weather-inspired exercise will appear on the blog this Friday, the 4th.<\/p>\n

Issue 5 Reading Period to Open Mid-Month<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve been waiting to re-open our reading period, because we have a very special announcement to make about our next issue. All will be revealed in mid-May, when we will officially open our doors to submissions for Issue 5.<\/p>\n

The Poetry Celebration Continues<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re particularly lucky, in a sense, that Poetry Month and APIA Heritage Month are back to back, because it means that we have the opportunity to celebrate Asian American poetry for two months straight! \u00a0In addition to our May series, we will also be keeping April’s Digital Broadsides up on the blog, and will continue to post Pocket Broadsides on Tumblr. We hope that you’ll continue to share these projects far and wide as our celebration of Asian American poetry continues.<\/p>\n

Many thanks, and a very happy May to you.<\/p>\n
